@Huw Promobricks has pictures of the other two sets!

Plus this means a lot more parts, thus more expensive.
I guess that means I'll have more money for all the cool Creator sets. "

Maybe LEGO are trying to kill off Speed Champions intentionally but in any case, time to play and display.

Would love if TLG could make less twin packs of this type which as far as I see it either forces you to purchase the cars you want at double the price or make you miss out on those you want.

What there’s not to get? You are aware that TLG is a business and their goal is to $ell. You answered your own question as to why these sets are bundled with one vehicle manufacturer only. If you’re smart enough to wait, wait until 20% off deals around the holidays

Even though these are new items and each having an entry in catalog and pictures (!) I don't see them being listed under "Site updates" for SETS. It used to work like that for years until about half a year ago (or little over that), but not sure what has changed. Am I missing some setting or website just got changed?

But the Lamborghini twin pack is so good. The Huracan is the best design of the 2020 wave and the Urus is excellent as well. I’ll admit the dragster is misplaced in Speed Champions but it’s still a good design as are both Corvettes.

New wheels, wheel caps, possibly tires?

Also, tr. black 3005 (35382) is back, baby!

I've been waiting for these!
The Koenigsegg will probably be a day one buy for me.
I like the C8 and GT Heritage, will probably pick those up on sale, and maybe do custom stuff with the other parts.
Not super convinced by the Supra, which is a shame.
I'd love to see Lego do more Japanese cars, the GT-R last year was fantastic. Hoping the Supra looks better at other angles, and that we maybe get a Skyline, Lancer or Impreza at some point.

Yep, all of this please, yesterday if you can.

Finally a Koenigseggeggeggegg 76900! May have to get that one!

Good point regarding the Lamborghini twin pack, I have at least considered buying that. My original point was that the combinations of vehicles in the twin packs are - for my taste - too diverging, and I still stand by that point even if I now see TLG's business reasoning behind it.

From that perspective I would argue that the Ford Bronco and GT do not go well together either, but the combination is not as curious as the one including the dragster. I get that both are Corvettes in 76903, but would prefer two classic road versions than one racing and one classic. I do agree with your point regarding the last one though, it is at least a passable combination.

Liking the look of these, but the overhead pics tend not to do them justice - would love to see the boxart to get some nice straight-on front views!

They had to make these sets the year I'm saving for a PC :(

Also, I'm a bit disappointed that the Supra's headlights are segmented stickers. that was the one I was looking forward to the most, and it looks less than I expected. Then again, official angles are often unflattering to the set in real life

Oof... what’s with all these great new summer sets?

The Elva is the biggest surprise to me - what a fantastic build! I love how the front splitter is done. The angled side panels work great. The seats appear to be printed, and I like how the dash is laid out. Brick built lights, front and rear. I don't care about the real car at all, but this model feels incredibly successful.

Finally! This is a theme I was waiting for the most. Thought I was hoping that Koenigsegg will be Agera

All cars look absolutely STUNNING. Might be the first collection of sets I really want to complete someday.

Might be for the best, GPU prices are way more than MSRP right now anyway. 3080s are going for 2k!

Personally, I can't fathom why anyone wouldn't like the 8 wide cars over the Six Wide cars. The 8 stud wide fits sports cars especially so much better

These are very nice. I am not normally into speed champions, but these are worth while on their own merits as small car models. These are even nicer than the first wave of 8-wide.

Many of the two-packs are classic and modern versions of the same car, or two modern cars from one brand. The only one of these in particular that seems weird to me is the Dodge set.

I agree completely with this.
Same was with previous Dodge double set and few similar. I'll be getting those if they are down to half price, effectively paying for the one I want/need minus usual discount I might get for singles.

Besides that I really like those classics in 8-wide, they have good details, proportions are great (even though they don’t play well with city or previous SC).

The Ford twin pack and the Mclaren also look really great to me. Those and the Koenigsegg would be my top picks

The Dodge Challenger and Ford GT looks really great and are immediately recognized, too bad they aren't sold separately. The Koenigsegg design is also good but would look much better with a more rounded windscreen. A problem with the windshield used is that all the new sport cars reminds too much of last years Ferrari and Lambo.

Does it really matter? From what I've seen, most modern hypercars look basically the same, Koenigsegg models in particular. Just watch a couple of the classic Top Gear episodes...

I'll be getting all of them. I love the 8-wide range.

Well, Agera is the one I like to drive in Forza Horizon. No other reason :-)

All I need to say is this:

Blacktron racer rides again.

If you're gonna continue to go with 8 wide, make it a 2 seater when it calls for it.

Pretty sure that the site updates sidebar with new sets is auto-filled from the LEGO website pages as they are published officially. Huw and admin team have the option to manually add numbers and images when those become available through other channels for the benefit of the avid fan, but from a database standpoint it's a lot more work.

Wonder if Lego even pursued a Gulf license for the Heritage GT?
As others have mentioned. shame it's in a Twin Pack.

Stickered Headlights that glow on box art are just misleading.

I really like the look of these, especially the Ford GT. The only real dilemma is, whether to get the whole lot on day 1, or have the patience to wait for the inevitable substantial price cuts in a few months!

I’m so glad to see that this theme hasn’t been forgotten. That Corvette twin-pack is MINE!

And an interesting thing about the Ford GT; this is the first time we have had a car redone in 8-wide configuration, as 75881 had the modern race car version of the Ford GT in 6-wide, and the new set captures its look much more gracefully.

It will be worth it to see about recreating that Le Mans winning car in 8-wide by purchasing parts and a sticker sheet to do a recolour and adding the appropriate bodywork.

Looks like the steering wheel of 76902 is lined up with the driver?

About d*mn time!!

The 8-wide builds are even better here, plus the Corvette, Ford, and McLaren sets look amazing. I just hope we can get a classic GT40 without the awful clown shoe-like proportions of the 2017 set someday. Those three will definitely be day one buys for me.

It also looks like we're getting new wheels and tires for the theme. While I'm glad the proportions of those have been made more realistic (as per the article some time back) I do love some sidewall on my tires. The old wheels will certainly be missed.

Great looking sets, but I'm partial to the Vette.

I wish that Lego would Rebrand the Speed Champions line into a 6 stud wide "CITY" line and an 8 stud wide "MINIFIG SCALE" line. Then continue to produce versions for both.
••• Alternatively, they can borrow from the 3-N-1 Creator theme, and add extra parts so that one can create either version.

Lego should follow the though process and extend this to their Modulars as well. It's the perfect excuse to sell Bigger sets.

Still patiently waiting for a minifig scale Aston Martin…

Right up there with the ninjago scaled vehicles now.

We (New Elementary) will be publishing an interview soon with the SC design lead Chris Stamp, and he answers this question. Spoiler: it is targeted at parent/child building, hence one car is older. Perhaps you don't fall into either age group that they're targeting!"

But with the older vehicles they choose, it's more like grandparent/child building.

6 wide was a big thing for me, but I managed to get used to it. 8 wide is just too much. This is where I say "thanks for the good times". Having said that, I think Stingray could have been done 6 wide and would still look this good. I'll check the instructions and see if it can be recreated in 6 wide.

I'm not a car person at all. But since doing 8 wide and building a couple im hooked. They look so beautiful and fantastic. And the building techniques make the builds really enjoyable.

My city doesn't even use cars and so not being 6 wide doesn't bother me.

I see these as display cars. They still make smaller cars in city and other lines.

True. Supra looks disappointing, at least from this angle..."

Well, I think the RL Supra looks bad from most angles, especially those weird panels that are stuck on the doors. Which is a shame, because I really wanted to like that car. But it is good they keep expanding to different brands.

So does that mean the next Technic set will be a Koenigsegg?

The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette looks amazing, I will definitely buy it, the GT40 also looks good, while the other models are average and the Elva is a complete misunderstanding - the worst model of the entire series.

Lego wants to increase the price point....

I love a good sticker-fest, and thats one of the reasons I like Speed Champions, but even I’m hoping those windscreens are printed!

My thoughts exactly @DoonsterBuildsLego!

Still, thank you to @Tim_Johnson for the tip regarding New Elementary's interview with the SC design lead, that could be an interesting read indeed.

If I remember correctly, list was updated once some new data has been pulled. Meaning, if set was already in DB, but had pictures added it would be bumped up. This kind of updates are now happen in the background and never being published.

This is yet another example of how far removed these guys are from reality.
In my entire life I have not encountered one single instance where a kid would have wanted to build a LEGO set together with one of their parents, let alone grandparents.
In what kind of marketing BS world do these people think they're living? Or do they really believe we fall for that explanation, while the simple truth and fact of the matter is that they simply want to make us spend more money.
This is so insulting that they think we are that gullible.

Well, I was excited for the Supra the most, and it does not look good. The sticker headlights going across three pieces that don't even line up is crap. I really wish Lego would release some more pieces in trans colors for headlights, it just looks so much better than lame stickers. Sadly I don't really think any of these look as good as the Ferrari F8, Audi Quattro, or Nissan GT-R. Also another year of being disappointed that they don't have a VW in the lineup.

I agree I would love something, anything by VW! (preferably a GTI.) Although I am perfectly fine with the Supra.

I'd love to see how they did a Beetle at SC scale. Or maybe a Squareback. (It's possible that I am a huge fan of vintage Volkswagens.)

I second this. My daughter builds with me all the time, specially creator 3-in-1 sets (great lineup IMO).

Well, I was hoping for more European classics instead of American classics, but the models look fine and will be a good continuation for the 8 stud line.
The only one I don’t like is the dragster, which also happens to be huge. I’ll likely pass on this one or try to buy the other Dodge from someone else.

Both my sons build LEGO with me. One is 16, the other 13 with developmental disabilities (kindergarten age cognitively - to put it in perspective). Several of my friends who are AFOLs build with their kids.

I think it happens more often than you might think.

@The_Cellarer:
The Dodge pairing makes perfect sense. The dragster would only be driven at a drag strip, but dragsters and funny cars aren’t the only things you’ll see racing there. Sometimes street-legal cars will race against each other, which is where the other car comes in. Obviously no sane muscle car owner will challenge a dragster to a race, but a single owner could show up with both cars.

@AustinPowers:
It depends more on the parent/child relationship than the marketing. One member of my LUG used to co-build with one of his sons (who consistently tried to build whatever dad was making, but bigger). Another member partners with his nephew to make layouts. Several of the other parents in the club bring their kids to various shows that we do (we get a few more hands to help the setup go faster, and they get to help put together a layout the size of a bedroom). I’ve met several parent/child partners at Brickworld Chicago, many of which have lasted into the child’s adulthood. I also know people for whom the LEGO experience was more of an escape from their home life than a means of family bonding.

Their marketing team is not only correct, but they’ve actually been picking up on clues given to them by their customers. One of the biggest complaints when they repeated the Winter Village toy shop is that it had already become a common family tradition to build those sets together as part of the holiday season.
